Tikki Tikki Tembo

Tikki tikki tembo-no sa rembo-chari bari ruchi-pip peri pembo! The old Chinese folk tale about a family with two sons, in which the first-born and honored son gets a long name, and the other son gets a short name (by tradition). The first born son's name means "the most wonderful thing in the whole wide world" and the second son's name is Chang which means "little or nothing" When Tikki falls down a well, Chang runs to his mother for help. But, it takes too long for Chang to recite Tikki's name and Tikki drowns. So, the Chinese decided to give all their children short names from then on.
